JESS HALL

I have trained as a painter and as a textile designer; the influence of both is evident in my work with the use of fine art, craft and design skills. I completed First Class Honours at Queensland College of Art (2005) and a Masters in Fine Art at VCAM (2010). In recent years I have been studying the BA Textile Design at RMIT University (which is ongoing) where I have learnt textile skills including dye techniques, embroidery and surface pattern design.

My work has been purchased for private and public collections and has featured in numerous art prizes, group and solo exhibitions. I was awarded an Australia Council Art Start Grant in 2010 and worked out of an artists studio at the historic Abbotsford Convent site for two years. My current practice focuses on works on paper and painting and embroidery on fabric. In 2019 I was highly commended for the NG Art Creative Residency Prize in France and undertook a supported place in the residency program for two weeks.
